In case you missed it, the Friars Club held their gala Roast of Boomer Esiason on Thursday over lunch at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel — taking full advantage of Super Bowl week in New York City. Of course, the Super Bowl actually is being played Sunday in New Jersey. So New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie made an appearance at the dais to roast Esiason and remind everyone of this. Among other things. After a slow start, a Marino dig gets Christie into the crowd’s (and Esiason’s) good graces, and then he’s off to the roasting races. Upon learning Boomer...

If you think the Late Night franchise at NBC is in a pickle, well, you’re half right. There is a pickle involved. But this is a different sort of dill, er, I mean, deal. On Tuesday night, Jimmy Fallon passed the pickle onto Seth Meyers — the same one he’d received Conan O’Brien, who had it handed down to him from David Letterman and his staff, the original holders of the NBC Late Night title and time slot.
